Based on the wonderful reading, written by Rabbi Yael Levy, I have penned down my reflection:
Offering forgiveness, compassion, connection and love to the people who hate us is the antidote to hatred, scorn and disdain. Acknowledging the waves of anger and revenge and letting them go helps me maintain my equilibrium. It takes time to cultivate such mindset. Patience and perseverance help me to navigate my life course. Sadly, some times people have thrown arrows of hatred towards me. They are judgmental and cynical. I have learnt not take their behaviors personally. Becoming aware of what's going on inside me , process it and let it go. Namaste.

My parents have raised my brother, and I to love people since the day we were born. Formally in my education, I began learning this, especially in advanced college courses. Your teachings, and those of Thich Nhat Hahn and expressing loving kindness and mindfulness, have been the foundation of my life since 1999. Praying with the news is a way to Heartfully send love, vibrations and thoughts which create a reality to those places in our world both near and far.
